A French Art Deco platinum ring with peridot and diamonds by René Boivin.

The significant legacy is due in no small measure to Jeanne Boivin who took over her husband's business after his death in 1917. Rather than wholly embracing the Art Deco trend that engulfed the rest of the French jewelry world in the late 1920s and early 1930s, she was also inspired by the exoticism that was enchanting the likes of Picasso and Paul Gauguin. Remaining close to the design greats such as Sandoz or Fouquet, she added her own feminine eye to the movement's ideals with the help of Suzanne Belperron from 1921 to 1932. The Boivin house would go on to create many spectacular jewels famously inspired by nature and sea life. A similar ring is pictured in Rene Boivin Jeweller, by Françoise Cailles, Quartet Books, 1994.Ring size 4; this ring can be sized.
